Syntrax Nectar taste - Clear liquid help
hellohealthy replied to jas84047's topic in Food and Nutrition
I wasn't a fan of cherry. I liked cappuccino, peach, lemonade, and sweet tea. I actually bought more of the cappuccino flavor. Oh I blend in my Nutribullet, stick it in the fridge and let the froth settle before I drink. -
Besides new clothes and a healthier lifestyle, what have you given yourself as a reward?

Looking for a St. Vincent Charity in Cleveland Buddy
hellohealthy replied to PaulaWodzisz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was at the Cleveland Clinic!! Good luck!! -
It could be the spacing of your meds. I felt nauseous when I took my psych meds in the morning so I switched to night. Have you been giving zofran or anything to help with nausea?

I know everyone heals differently, but how long did yours take?

I'm doing well! Walking and such. Getting bored being at home though lol. Not too much pain, just a little soreness.

I'm pre op, with a post op question.
hellohealthy replied to reedawn's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I felt like crap. I was exhausted and uncomfortable (pain meds helped) and didn't get much sleep! I felt so much better when I got home. -

Liver Reduction Diet... SUCKS.
hellohealthy replied to erinmay93's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would literally dry heave every time I had to drink a shake - you're not the only one that found it hard. I just kept reminding myself about the end goal and that's what got me through! -
Post-op swelling?
hellohealthy replied to ReadyFourChange's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was definitely swollen! I was so pumped full of fluids and gas that I looked a bit like a balloon! I walked the gas out (helped with the discomfort too) and avoided the scale until my post op appointment where I was down 14 lbs. I'm 25 days post op and my belly is still a bit swollen although much better than it was. Good luck! -
Poll: insurance acceptance/denial
hellohealthy replied to bangbangbarbie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have Medical Mutual of Ohio. I started out at 381 with no comorbidities. I had 3 months of nutrition and psych visits. I was approved the first time, no questions asked. -
I used to be a huge sweets person. I'm 2 weeks post op and haven't had a craving for anything but protein. I think the pre op diet really helped!

Walk as much as you can even though it hurts!!

What was your post-op diet like?
hellohealthy replied to imjenn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One to two weeks liquids, one to two weeks puréed foods, one to two weeks soft foods and then regular foods after that.
